Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore speaks next to images of Damien Sanderson and Myles Sanderson during a press conference at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police "F" Division headquarters in Regina, Saskatchewan, on Sunday, Sept. 4, 2022. Police said the pair allegedly stabbed and killed multiple people in various locations between the James Smith Cree Nation and in the village of Weldon, northeast of Saskatoon, on Sunday morning, and are presently at large

Thank gourd none of the victims had a gun, the bad guy might have been shot.

[Perd Hapley]

I hereby politicize this tragedy! 

(Aw, shucks. Somebody beat me to it, with equal sardonicness (sardonicity?).)

[Hawkmoon]

Standing by to see how the U.S. media try to spin this to blame guns, or otherwise assure us that it would have been much worse except for strict gun control in Canada.

This is the natural consequence of cutlers marketing whole sets of knives to at-risk young males.

You are attempting humor.  But stabbing like this is why in the UK there is an active effort to ban knives with a sharp tip.

Yeah, I'm takin' a stab at it.

This is a symptom of colonialism. We must round up all the truckers eh.

And all those who hold unacceptable views.

A major problem is the availabilty of these high capacity magazines.

That's a sharp observation.

Even the tip of a butter knife can have a sharpened edge on it without being pointed. With enough force, it will make ya leak! You just have to ban all knives outside of the home unless in a govt approved locked knife carrier with the knives inside individually wrapped in chain-mail.

[RoadKingLarry]

That's a sharp observation.

That's some. Cutting-edge incite there.

That's not far from reality in formerly great Britain.  I've seen stories of chefs being arrested for knife possession when traveling with the tools of their trade.

And right on point

This story from the BBC says that blunt knives were being offered to abuse victims.

It seems to me that it would make more sense to offer a pointy knife to an abuse victim.

Perhaps with some advice:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29FXtcCY8C0

I don't see the point

Oh wait, that's because there isn't one

Canadian PM: You DON'T Have A Right To Use A Gun For Self Defense

Justin Trudeau: "you can't use a gun for self-protection in Canada. That's not a right that you have in the Constitution or anywhere else"

[JTHunter]

We need to remember not to be blunt with our humor at these dull politicians (like Mech's reference to Trudeau).  After all, while he may be a sharp dresser, his rhetoric is so often repeated that it is painfully dull.
